Mischief of Owning q Horse.

How many people are there in the world
who are sensible enough to jot down as one
of their reasons for devout gratitude in life
the fact that they have never had money
enough to be able to afford horse and car
riages Not that there is any harm in having
q neighbor who is burdened with one, espe-
cially when, once in a while, he takes you
fine drive. Still, it is always wise thing to
be on ones guard against such neighbor,
and to keep perpetualiy on the lips the
prayer: "Lead us not into temptation" The
fatal temptation Of a horses four legs is to
lead man to forget that he has two Of
his own, which, if kept in serviceable order,
can carry him, body, mind and soul, into a
thousand places into which the horses legs
could never take him-over fences and
through woods and upland pastures, along
the rocky courses of leaping mountain brooks,
high above the clouds on SUBMITS of Pisgah
outlook. and over the ridges of precipitous
cliffs, springing sheer from the ocean: surges
laundering and foaming at their base.
Now, the mischief of owning horse is
that one so soon becomes his slave, and is
forced to go merely where the brute, un-
nsthetical beast, can travel. No matter how
dusty the highway, or how delightful it
would be to strike across country, still
straight along the dusty highway must the
half suffocated victim CO. He has no legs Of
his own. They have gone to the dogs. like
his classical studies, through sheer lack of
use; and all the fine machinery connected
with them-deep breathing lungs and stout
beating heart-have suffered the same col
lapse-Boston Herald.

Csmplimenting "a Young Hero.

saw Blanche Roosevelt lift man from n
dusty business street into a half heaven of
gratifed complacency once by few words
and soft and mellow look from her big blue
eyes. 1t was on Park row, and she had just
stepped into her carriage when a sturdy
young fellow saw an old woman pause and
stagger in front of team of horses. She
was on crutches. We all saw her. There
was no real danger. No one moved for a
moment, and we stood staring at her with
the stolidity born of the muggy heat, when the
sturdy young man jumped forward, took her
i'm his arms, and carried her quietly to the
walk. Then he colored, and looked ashamed.
The woman thanked him awkwardly with q
trembling lip, and he nodded half surlily and
started on, but before he had gone dozen
steps Blanche Roosevelt jumped from the
carriage-nearly bowling me over thereby
and running up to the red faced youth seized
one of his hands and gave it an ecstatic lit
tie squeeze. He turned and found a woman's
face looking into bis. 1t was a wonderfully
expressive face The eyes spoke volumes
He looked into them and seemed transfixed.
Miss Roosevelt smiled, and said, in q soft
voice, as though whispering to baby:
"YOu're good fellow, you area good
fellow"
Then she dashed back into the carriage,
while the mans chest swelled out, and he
stood looking after her, breathing in veritable
gulps.
"He'll be aghast with delight for week. l
said as closed the carriage door.
"Do you know what he Isl" said the girl,
peeping back at him as he stood peering hOtlY
after her. "Hes hero-if he does turn in

Cure of Whooping Cough.

The author has found that fumigation with
sulphurous acid will frequently succeed in
Immediately arresting whooping cough. His
methods consist in having the child dressed
in entirely clean clothes in the morning and
removed from the apartment; then, in the
sleeping room, as well as the other rooms oc-
cupied by the patient, his bed clothing,
clothes, toys and everything which is wash
able should be hung up; then sulphur should
be burned in the rooms at the rate of twenty
five grammes for each cubic meter of space,
and the rooms should remain closed and sub
iected to the fumes of the sulphur for five
hours. Then everything should be aired, and
at night the child should be put to bed IN ms
room, which is thus completely disinfected.
Nothing else is requisite, and even in rebel
lious cases the effect of this dsinfected at
mosphere will be found to be effective

The Hotels of London.

In London there are a number of strictly
first class hotels, like the Metropole and the
Victoria, for example; but they are patron
lied almost exclusively by Americans. Eng
lishmen prefer the very small hotels, almost
like our boarding houses, except that meals
are served in the rooms. have stopped at
several of these-at Claridge's and at Ed
wards'-the famous resorts of royalty, and
have always been annoyed by the obtrusiyt
and overwhelming character OF the attend
ance. You arrive, and the doors are thrown
open with grand flourish, the servants greet
YOU with Oriental reverence; one OF them
brings you the inevitable "jug" of hot water,
and you proceed to wash your hands. Per-
haps in the course of that operation you pass
into another room for an instant, and, ON
your return, with your hands still covered
with soap, you find that the jug, water and
all, have mysteriously disappeared, and you
are obliged to begin over again. Indeed, l
have found this unceasing service very dis
agreeable Frank Leslie's Letter.

THE COST OF FINE PIANOS.
An Alleged S5O,OOO Investment-Price
of We ealthy Mems instruments.

of Wealthy Mems instruments.
The one subject of which piano dealers and
piano manufacturers and workmen in piano
factories have been talking for the past few
days, is the piano said to be for Mr.. Henry
G. Marquand, with five figures following the
dollar mark in the invoice thus: SAG, $50 No
such price as S46,95O was ever paid for q
piano before, but no prophet will venture to
say that no one will ever pay so much again.
"What do you think about such a piano?'
said reporter to an uptown music dealer.
"Had you arrived at the age of maturity
before the war of the rebellion began" said
the dealer, "and had you been of cynical
disposition at that time, you would have been
interested, not to say astounded at the large
sums of money paid as income taxes by men
in this town. 1t gave one notol iety to pay a
large income tax, and no one was debarred
from paying as good tax as he chose. Per-
haps piano could be built with that sum,
but it would have to be inlaid with gold and
have the monogram set in diamonds before
the bill could honestly call for half as much
as that"
"What, then, do the elegant pianos OF the
men of great wealth costa"
"Ordinarily from $500 to $4,000. Mrs.
Jay Gould bought one recently that cost ST.
500. 1t was an upright grand and just as
fine an instrument in everything that goes to
make piano as ever left the factory of one
of the best known makers in the city. c. 2.
Huntington has recently purchased a piano.
His cost s., 900. while Judge Hilton, another
millionaire, got one not long ago for which
he paid a little more than $1,000, believe.
Now, these instruments were the very best
the workmen could produce. The builders
knew, of course, that it would help them to
sell fine pianos to other families if such people
as these had their make of instruments. The
choicest woods, seasoned to the exact dot,
were used in the cases; extra quality cloth
worth SIS yard, where the ordinary stuff
used is worth from S. to $40, went to the ac-
tions; the ivory was selected from perhaps a
hundred different tusks, and SO on from the
casters under the legs to the varnish on top,
everything was the best. The moncgrams
were worked out in gold or antique metal, or
some other expensive stuff, and when the in
struments were set up in the parlors Of the
purchasers there was a richness to the tones
that would enchant any one. And the tone
was there to remain; such an instrument will
last wonderfully. But, after all, you can get
just as good an instrument, one with pre-
cisely the same tones and one that will last
just as well. for less than half the money paid
by Mr.. Gould."-New York Sun.

SUNRISE AND VENICE.

The east is blossOmingi Yea, a rosa
Vast as the heavens, soft as kiss,
Sweet as the presence of woman is,
Rises and reaches, and widens and grows,
Large and luminous, up from the sea
And out Of the sea, as blossoming tree.
Richer and richer, so higher and higher,
Deeper and deeper it takes hue;
Brighter and brighter it reaches through
The space Of heaven and the place Of stars,
TIL all is rich as a rose can be
And my rose leaves fall into pillows Of fire.
Then beams reach upward as arms from the sea;
Then lances and arrows are aimed at me;
Then lances, and spangles, and spars, and bars
Are broken, and shivered and strown on the sea,
And around and about me, tower and spire
Start from the pillows like tongues of fire.
